ActivateFCurveOnKeyable

ActivateFCurveOnKeyable

Introduced

5.0

Description

Activates or deactivates an entire curve or just a region of the curve.

ActivateFCurveOnKeyable is the command equivalent of the same functionality available in the DopeSheet. It should be used when trying to emulate the DopeSheet behavior.

Note: This command is very similiar to ActivateFCurve with the only difference being the input objects and the list of parameters on which the FCurve Activation/Deactivation is done.
